CAN WE BEAT LAST YEAR?
Last year we collected 7 tons of trash. We recycled
3 tons of metal and 22 tires. Lets beat that! New this
year we will have one roll-off reserved for brush. Brush
coupons will be available for loads that don't fit in
our roll-off.
We walked Stuhr Park, Hawthorne school and 3 miles
of streets collecting trash and cleaning utility poles
of signs. There are 11 miles of streets in the Witherbee
neighborhood. Can we get them all this year?
